Lighters: Brebbia 'Bowl Flame' Pipe Lighter

[Mike N]

Anyone tried one of these? These are new on TobaccoPipe.com. I favor my old boy lighters, but this looks interesting so long as the wide flame does not burn the rims. The built-in tools are nice, so long as it’s not too bulky in the pocket. Any thought?

I only use Zippo's now that you can use the Zippo Butane insert, they work great and if your careful they don't burn the rim of your pipe.

I also favor the Old Boy lighter, but I do use a Colibri lighter of recent manufacture similar to the one you identified. Like other piezoelectric ignited lighters I've used, it can take a few clicks to light it and it's more sensitive to even slight breezes than the Old Boy. On the other hand, it's nice and simple to operate. I suggest trying it if you can easily afford it. If I were in the market for a new and simple to operate lighter, I'd try the model you found. I like the concept of that Brebbia lighter.

It looks like a jet lighter. Id be curious how quickly it would burn a rim. If you get one let us know.
